This study explores how consumers in developed and developing countries perceive sustainable food consumption these perceptions are shaped by local contexts. Using the theory of social representations, which frames sustainability as a system values, ideas, practices, we conducted mixed-methods analysis data from online focus groups ten countries. The results reveal significant differences between frontrunners Consumers on immanent linking to concrete practices such recycling, buying organic products, brand awareness. In contrast, adopt more transcendent views, emphasizing moral responsibility, tradition, collective well-being, often expecting government regulation drive change. Barriers high cost, lack knowledge, skepticism reflect underlying socio-economic inequalities, particularly highlights global norms interact with realities, revealing mismatches that limit effectiveness universal approaches. These findings underscore need for context-sensitive policies strategies address barriers while remaining consistent goals. More broadly, this research underscores necessity culturally tailored approaches promote equitable inclusive socio-ecological transformations.

ABSTRACT What happens when already sceptical customers start questioning company communication? Encouraged by the vague answers to this question, our study extends existing knowledge about effects of customers' environmental concern, scepticism and communication on green purchasing intention (GPI) behaviour (GPB) across environmentally controversial industries—namely, textile clothing food industries. Using own primary data collected in November 2023 covering 1001 Czech Republic, where issue sustainability is generally back burner, we show that increased concern can completely change relationship between GPI, thereby leading positive effects. interesting new finding trust distrust act as significant mediators relationships investigated thus far. Moreover, soon examine companies' practices their credibility more detail, previously GPI become negative.

Purpose Edible food packaging provides a solution to the solid waste problem caused by traditional packaging. However, tourists’ readiness adopt this novel technology is unclear. Design/methodology/approach An online survey was conducted examine how motivated consumer innovativeness (CI), environmental awareness, perceived behavioral control, subjective norms and attitudes influence tourists' purchase behaviors in context of edible tourism industry. The collected data were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) with SmartPLS 3.2.8. Findings results analysis indicate that each sub-factor positively influences attitudes. Additionally, attitudes, norms, control personal found significantly impact intentions. Environmental awareness moderate relationships between (1) intention, (2) intention (3) attitude intention. These findings expand applicability diffusion innovation, planned behavior theories, offering useful insights for foodservice professionals. Research limitations/implications This study emphasizes key implications industries, as consumers an innovative higher are more likely Identifying these factors will help stakeholders establish effective strategies reduction through solutions. Originality/value research uniquely investigates adoption integrating theories innovation diffusion, awareness. It offers into various psychological social within

Consumers' growing awareness of the adverse effects high meat consumption has led to increased attention flexitarian or meat-reduced diets. However, most flexitarians do not significantly reduce their and still eat many meat-based meals. This study aims classify large heterogeneous consumer group into different profiles based on attitudinal, normative, control beliefs about reduction. Being aware that can change over time, this explores dynamics identified using a two-wave panel survey 430 German consumers. Latent profile analysis revealed distinct meat-oriented profiles, including three stable one non-stable across both waves. The findings indicate differ in belief structure reduction consumers switch back forth other time. Practitioners should be changes when developing interventions. Further research is needed understand reasons behind these shifts.

Reducing red meat intake is crucial for both planetary sustainability and human health. However, various psychosocial barriers impede this dietary shift, necessitating the application of psychological models such as Theory Planned behaviours (TPB) to predict individuals' inclination reduce consumption. Despite TPB's widespread use, there a need more refined model addressing emotional variables. This study aims assess effectiveness in understanding intentions regarding reduction, while investigating food involvement's role moderator between intention behaviours. Data were collected through two questionnaires (n = 963, Time 1; n 541, 2) filled out by representative sample Italian population. Using descriptive statistics structural equation models, findings reveal that attitudes subjective norms explain 22.2 % variance Additionally, perceived behavioural control account 39.7 self-reported consumption six months later. Moreover, high levels involvement hinder translation into behaviour, highlighting its moderating effect. These results emphasize necessity reshaping reduction strategies promoting alternative choices, fostering habitual practices linked positive emotions. It reducing behaviour becomes cultural symbol change, identifying individuals "new consumers" within society adapting environmental health challenges. By integrating factors interventions can better address promote sustainable habits.

Purpose This study explores the conflicting effects of positive versus negative self-esteem and frugal wasteful self-identity on food waste behavior (FWB), examining moderating roles self-ambivalence impulsive buying tendency (IBT) as mediators in a comprehensive mediation-moderation model. Design/methodology/approach Based sample 416 Vietnamese consumers, this employs an advanced single-indicator approach for latent variable interactions within general path analysis framework to test effects. Findings Positive manifests influence, whereas demonstrates effect FWB. Frugal exerts impact, while yields also confirms novel pathways demonstrating contrasting FWB through self-identities IBT. Moreover, moderator subjective objective these relationships are partially confirmed. Research limitations/implications Future research should explore influence other self-strength-related constructs Practical implications Interventions aimed at reducing consider complex interplay self-identities, self-esteem, Originality/value study, shedding significant light self-focused approach, integrates self-identity, IBT model provide insights into psychological self-processes underlying
